Can the client initiate the connection instead of PHP?

The client can initiate a connection to a server using PHP by sending a request to the server using functions like cURL or file_get_contents. This allows the client to interact with the server and retrieve data or perform actions. 

// Using cURL to initiate a connection from the client side
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/api');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Using file_get_contents to initiate a connection from the client side
$response = file_get_contents('http://example.com/api');
